Summary

Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander find themselves with plenty to talk about. They start with Mo Bamba's commitment to Texas, then move on to Missouri establishing a top-10 class. The two programs are in very different stages, however. Plus, the two entertain the idea that Kentucky and Duke should tweak their recruiting philosophies. After that, they hit on NBA Draft stay-or-go predictions, and get into the pros and cons of all LaVar Ball has done to help and hurt his family's name.

0:00.0	Hey there, it's Gary Farage, it's Friday, May 19th, and welcome back to the Ion College
